While Dean was nothing more than a spare man on the backline, he did achieve something few players have done. (Also
something I think Sergei Brylin did at the same time he did, too.)
He won both the Calder Cup and the Stanley Cup in the same year.
Prior to 95, he had spent a lot of years in the farm system. And even after that, there wasn't a season where he didn't play at
least one game in Albany.
Yeah, the year he finally broke the AHL spell, he ends up being claimed in the expansion draft. Go figure.
Meanwhile, he not only played for the Thrashers in 99-00, he played for the Dallas Stars and the Chicago Blackhawks.
He played for the Milwaukee Admirals after his final season with the Hawks, but that would be his last as a pro. He had
developed heart problems and had to retire.
He did become a coach, though. In fact, he joined the Lowell staff in 2006, and had been with them until 10-11, when he got
the head job at Trenton. His future is up in the air right now with the T-Devs having suspended operations in July, 2011.
